Re: [Evolution] How does evolution determine the browser to use when a link is clicked?




How does evolution choose a browser, or is it necessary to 
change my default browser some where else in the system.
I am running RH 9.

For 1.3 and newer: it uses the browser selected through the
gnome-default-applications-properties program (available in XD2 from
System -> Personal Settings, Preferred Applications.  Of course, you may
not be running XD2...)

So if not - is there any place to change it? SuSE's default setting
seems to be "mozilla" instead of "gnome-moz-remote", which is nasty at
latest on the second "click" :-)

Mark seems to refuse to post my default reply. ;)  So, here it is for
Evolution 1.4.x and Evolution 1.2.x versions. The attached script even
uses tabs and may be more helpful than gnome-moz-remote. HTH

Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x
-------------------------

Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
# gnome-default-applications-properties

 check 'Custom Web Browser'
 Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:

 Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"

Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.


Evolution 1.2 / Gnome 1.4
-------------------------

Check your ~/.gnome/Gnome file. You need something like that:

[URL Handlers]
default-show=gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

If there are http-show or similar entries, change them, too.


gnome-moz-remote %s
 will only open a new mozilla, when none running
 displays the URL in the current mozilla (old content overwritten)

gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s
 will only open a new mozilla, when none running
 displays the URL in a new mozilla window


I use the following default-show entry:

default-show=/home/guenther/bin/mozilla-remote.sh "%s"

With the attached mozilla-remote.sh script (must be executable) it acts
like the --newwin option, but displays the new URL in a new *tab* if
there is already a mozilla running.

I don't lose the displayed URL and can even click multiple URLs and see
them all in the same mozilla.

If you have a ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote file, check it, rename it or
plain delete it. You can change settings there too, although you won't
need it.
